How had he changed?  |

According to Andrea Kremer (who had talked to him as recently as last week), he went for about 4 years without even attending church. According to Ray Didinger (NFL Films and HoF Philly Journalist) he had recently taken up the study of Hebrew with a young scholar (via phone) in Israel so he could read the original text of the Bible and make his own interpretation of it. He read the Bible and always took the literal translation as gospel. He realized that much of what he was doing was accepting the translations of others as fact and was, therefore, undermining his own faith. I'm sure more of this will come out in the near future, but it was intriguing nonetheless.

Okay,... I finally saw the report to which you are referring. I don't know... From all that I have seen over the past 36 or so hours and from what (relatively little) I knew of and know about the man, I would say that it was not as much a "fundamental" or "paradigmatic" change as a "procedural" or "scholastic" (big-time irony in the usage of that word there) one. I have a lot more to say on this, actually. But, I am going to save that for later and let the tribute to Reggie, which is what this thread is ultimately for, continue.
